Re: The London Gig Guide

Mike and all, sorry, I forgot to mention that I'd updated page 1 earlier this week. Mind you, it took me so long researching that it's probably time to start again. hmm

Thanks to everyone for the interim updates as I don't often check the more obscure venues that some up and coming artists play.

Cheers

No worries Phil - if a gig gets a double mention it must be a good one.... Speaking of which:-

Bugger. On holiday again! Why are there always good gigs on in May?

The Barbican Centre is one of the best halls I've been to. The sound is superb unlike the RAH, so anyone going is in for a treat.

Question is surely "Why do I always go on holiday in May knowing that I will miss some quality gigs?" smile smile smile

Re: The London Gig Guide

Good point Kenny. Creatures of habit and all that, plus Mrs W doesn't like it too hot or too cold for that matter, so May is the best time.

PS K is loving the Jon Allen CDs. I can't go into the kitchen without hearing him blasting out on the kitchen hi-fi. Just realised how bad that sounds. She doesn't spend all her time in the kitchen. I do let her out sometimes. lol
